@madinana
So Happy to hear you are at home Are you doing laundry already ? You better not
Let @tiredwife hear about that She will send the O.D.I.C police after you

Yes, keep taking those meds. That's what is controlling your pain. Glad you are coping well. Take care and rest!

Hi @madinana, yes, keep taking your pain meds even if you don't feel any pain. You need to keep on top of it. Now you did one (small I hope) load of laundry. @tiredwife will let you slide by since you needed clean sweats, but no more laundry.......REST, ICE and ELEVATE!!!!!! Hope you continue to be pain free. Anne

@madinana What Cathie said!!! Ice Ice Elevate Elevate!! I iced so much I could barely get my ice packs cold again!! Had to get a couple more, a bag of ice, and I even used Kim's blue ice lunch sack ice packs!! It saved me, I know!!

 

[madinana]

Well with all the bragging I did I am eating my words. I have been sleeping well just woke up once to go to ladies room. This morning was a little stiff and then my hubby helped me get in shower . It felt good for about two minutes and know am in pain, Every time I lay back down have to go to bathroom So not feeling so well today I feel so guilty I have not been on any thread to see how the other two of the triplets are doing. Also emotions are off the hook. I ask something of my husband sigh then I say I will do my self so it has been interesting to say the least, Well I am off to ice and elevate Hope to check in later

 

[ConnieJOS]

@madinana You have to take care of yourself first! You can catch up on us later.

For ice packs, I like to fill mine with rubbing alcohol and water. It freezes, but not solid. You can mold it to the shape you need. And once they are made you just re freeze and reuse. No mess! I had to play with it a little to get the consistency I wanted, but I think it was about one part alcohol to two parts water.

Take care, and I hope you feel better!

@madinana Maybe we need to have @tiredwife come and have a talk with your hubby about helping you out. Seriously, we all need a wife! I can't really complain. Kent took pretty good care of me without complaint after I had a mini blow up in the beginning. I hope you feel better.

 

[tiredwife]

@madinana Hi girl, sorry you are ouchie today! I think you need to elevate more and move around less, you just have terrible luck with elephant legs. We need to tame that elephant leg

.
We had to go take the title to the Blazer to the dealer this morning, didn't have it with us yesterday when we traded for the Titan.

@tiredwife just had visiting nurse here I did not realize they send a nurse too. I was more concern about physical therapy. She said they will come twice a week. She thought I was getting around with walker very good and said you have good flexion as was sitting in recliner and my leg was down. She measured my thigh and calf and of course had to tell my weight. Then she said I am anxious, need to relax and elevate and ICE ICE which I had not iced yet as had no pain so I thought ice was for the pain She told me it will take the swelling down too I should leave known better I guess I better read the bonesmart articles again

@tiredwife
@madinana
She needs a nice young stud, to calm her down @patient 99 did request hot chocolate
Last night, until she found out she could order a hunk. ( she wants what everyone else wants )
@gr82cu2 has put in her order so, Could you please send a hunky male nurse to help@madinana
Out? He could rub her neck & shoulders, fluff her pillows, rub her back,
Thank You
Diana

 

[tiredwife]

@new knee in June and @madinana Here is a hunky male nurse to make Laurie all better:

 

[tiredwife]

@madinana For the second knee hubby had a home nurse come a few times. Just took vitals and checked his incision. Yes you need to relax! Elevate, you know the drill!

 

[tiredwife]

@madinana , @new knee in June said your nurse didn't have enough Pizzazz so here is guy #2:
This is a real doctor his name is Travis Stork.

 

[gr82cu2]

@madinana Yes!!! Ice even if it doesn't hurt. It gets the swelling down which will help with your ROM and also keep the pain from returning full force. That's a good report but Ice Ice baby!!!
